Palme d’Or Winner Cristian Mungiu Allies with Poland’s Kijora Films on ‘Tales of the Golden Age – The Warsaw Pact,’ and ‘The Incident’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Cristian Mungiu pacts with Poland’s Kijora Films: ‘Tales of the Golden Age - The Warsaw Pact,’ Tomasz Wolski’s fiction debut ‘The Incident.’
Expanding to accommodate stories from different ex-communist Eastern European countries, including Poland, it will be written by Mungiu and directed by Ioana Uricaru. “The stories presented in the script take place at a dark moment in history and talk about very grim issues in that comical and absurd way – one that Romanians and other Eastern Europeans have, over the years, perfected as their way of survival,” they added, promising to recreate “the unique, unmistakable atmosphere of the 1980s, which some viewers will recognize with nostalgia and others, younger ones, with curiosity.” Mobra Films is already busy developing other international co-productions, from Ana-Felicia Scutelnicu’s “Transit” – made with Weydemann Bros. (Germany) and Moldova’s Youbesc – to upcoming miniseries “Escaping Heaven”.
